I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">acknowledges</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for owns that I've seen before include "Has possession of by right" , "Possesses" , "uses" , "Admits possession" , "Confesses" .)
